You probably don't want to use such a large buffer.  Something around the
size of a page of memory or a small multiple thereof should be sufficient
(e.g., 4k or 8k).  If downsizing your buffer doesn't help, try using
storeFileStream and writing your own loop to copy the data from one
stream to another.

Ideally, this sort of task would use sendfile, for which I suppose the
Java equivalent is FileChannel.transferTo, but Commons Net does not
yet make use of java.nio.
